My mechanic noticed corrosion on the small wire. New Starter couldn’t start. So he crimp a connector wire and the Starter started. Corroded wire ( I’m in Canada, weather sucks).

Why are your notifications for your videos turned off .

How tight did you go with the cover bolts? Did you need to torque to any spec? I realize it would be hard to get any wrench in there.

There is another sound coming from your engine in this video, a higher pitched sort of metallic sound. Did you happen to figure out the source? Mine is making an identical sound and i am trying to figure it out.

Great video. It's always a simple job , turns into a problematic situation. 😊. Mine is a 1982, 928

Did you get a VO artist?

Thanks. Changing my 928 clutch and couldn’t believe the starter is held on by just 2 bolts on one end of it because it weighs a lot!

How did you fix the headlights from popping up?

Can you do a video on the AC/alternator/power steering belt changes

I know what is. Ask me how I know. It’s the rear coupler splines and the shaft splines fretting. You will have to pull the torque tube. Either the coupler splines,shaft splines or both are worn. You can try tightening the the rear clamp bolt and retightening but not likely going to help. Check tube bearings and input bearing while your there. It’s not going to go away until you fix it. Dreading the job is worst part. If I can help let me know.

Do I need to flush the system afterwards.

I have 3 wires but my starter don’t have the outer bolt so i don’t know where to put the 3rd wire

Its not a pump ist a air valve. It must close slowly after start. In it is a bimetall and heat- resistant. Conekt 12V to it for test then it must slowly close.

0:33 Replace all of those ceramic fuses, looks like you already have a few that are broken.

Can you do a video on replacing the ignition switch? With or without removing the instrument cluster?

omg i recently did this and I had to do some terrible nonsense the next owner is going to hate... but, all the lights work and the odometer is correct so... win?

Brown is ground good old diagramsdiagrams in current flow

Looks good

Can you do a video on transmission mounts?

I have a 1980 Porsche 928 - it has a Temp Sensor II just as your 928 has. Can you show how to remove it? the temperature gauge on my instrument cluster doesn't work and the forums say it's probably a bad Temp Sensor II. the Temp Senor II is right behind the Temp Sensor you show in the video. The Temp Sensor II has the two wires coming out of it. i tried a 19mm socket but couldnt get the socket onto it.

How did you remove the motor? I removed the 3.bolts.and the 1 center bolt but the motor is stuck.between the fender panel and the radiator area

You'd better be a good electrical diagnostician for a 928. I know, having two and converting one to a successful racecar. I recall like over 50 relays, mounted under the heater core in the passenger footwell. Hundreds of pages, in fact, a whole book in the shop manuals. Many of the circuits made no sense at all with unrelated systems intertwined and inoperable if something was faulty..Lovely limp home mode that activated on a whim and a timing belt warning that worked with nothing wrong an didn't when something was wrong. I loved my 928s despite the flaws.

Awesome video! It would be awesome if you could do a video on how to adjust the accelerator cables to reduce slack in the accelerator

I was wondering, did you use a fuse puller or how did you get them out? Also how did you remove the fuse holder with the corroded terminals?

Did you have lower temperatures after your upgrade?

Awesome knowledge 👏

Awesome. Plz show video of installation and or start up. I had a similar experience. Mine is a 1992

I just bought a 1981 928 5 speed. This is going to be my first project. Where did you source the fuses, relays, etc? Great video thx!

Unless I’m missing something, shouldn’t you apply voltage across 85 and 86 to activate the relay (and hear click)?

How many people to lift off the hatch is needed?

Did you have to disconnect the fuel in any way?

I acquired this 928. I’ll be posting videos on it on my channel.

Nice work

Auto trans ?

Run and fast! Whatever you think it will cost to bring up to spec, at least double it. But, it would be nice to see it being something other than a parts car and back on the road. Sadly so many of these are just junked because of the high cost of maintainence. They are actually very reliable so long as they have been correctly maintained from day 1. I have owned a 928 S4 for about 10 years., and have had minimal trouble. It has been dealer serviced from new. Has about 63,000 miles. I live in NZ where the parts prices are amoungst the highest in the world. Lucky I can import from USA where they are about the cheapest!

The color alone would’ve been worth saving if original

Very impressive restoration!

If you have the experience, I would say “go for it”. For anyone else, “run from it”.

Wow, what a labor of LOVE!!!!

Did u fix the vaccum leak? I have the same sound at the same spot. Thanks!

Where is this car? The first 928 I ever saw and sat in, looks just like this car! Well, same spec anyway, the one I saw was brand new!

Yellow is rare. I have a 79 yellow but its covered by red in most spots but the rarity alone is worth it if you plan on keeping it

Just found your channel … really cool color for a 928 which I had not seen before. I used to work on this model eons ago. What’s missing in front of the radiator is an A/C condenser and high speed electric fan. The engine is also missing vacuum lines and parts of the evaporative emission system. I would start with pricing the missing items in the interior since those will be difficult to find and therefore costly. Do the usual checks on the engine if possible, compression test, run it at normal operating temperature, perform visual and engine performance checks. Check the condition of the transmission and clutch if possible. It looks like a fun project but it will likely be costly; the car is worth saving!

I'm looking at that's been sitting for 10 years plus, but I don't know what I should offer the owner for it

Eh, the missing cooler is only the AC condenser, so no huge drama other than likely needing to replace a bunch of AC parts due to the system having been left open to the atmosphere. Best of luck if you do decide to grab it.

Looks like a repaint to me and a car that is $40k away from being a $20k car!

If you're not scared of 1) the K-Jet injection 2) the costs of the MY1978 specific parts, go for it!! MY1978 with the 5-spd is very special.
